Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast.

Where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing

healthy weight.

Hey guys, I wanted to do a quick video on the strong odor on Keto, whether it's your urine

or your breath, what you can do and what it is.

All right, so let me just talk about all the reasons that you can have a strong odor

mainly in your urine, sometimes through the breath.

Okay, so the first one is liver damage.

That can create a strong odor in your urine and definitely in your breath.

Okay, an infection can cause a strong odor in your urine.

All right, dehydration, that could do it because your urine is so concentrated, asparagus

will make your urine smell pretty funky.

And if you consume too much protein, so if you're consuming more than three to six ounces

of actual protein per meal, okay, not per day per meal, that could be an issue, especially

if you don't have enough stomach acid.

Now, as you get on Keto in your carbs are actually lower than 20 grams or you're fasting

or you're doing intense exercise, what's going to happen is that your ketones are going

to go up.

The one that actually creates the most technical odor on breath and in urine is acetone.

This is a type of ketone, there's three types of ketones, this is one of them, okay.

So then there's actually a meter that you can get, a breath meter that you can detect

this as well.
